1992 Honda Ntv600 M

CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 1992 Honda Ntv600 M. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 1992 Honda NTV600-M is a reliability disaster by modern standards: just 9.6% of examples pass first time against the UK average of 80%, and the petrol version fares even worse at 7.8%. Dangerous defects are rare at 1%, but the sheer scale of failures means this is a bike that will cost you significantly in repairs.

These bikes have genuinely low mileage for their age (median 47,742 miles), yet still fail spectacularly, suggesting decades of neglect rather than hard use. With 0.15 failures and 0.3 advisories per vehicle on average, expect basic maintenance items to have been ignored—if you're considering one, budget heavily for a full recommission or walk away entirely.

What to check before buying a 1992 Honda Ntv600 M

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
